See if you're getting power to the pump, check fuses, relays, wiring, etc

the EXACT same thing is happening to me. Hope its not as bad as mine. I need to get a new ECU! Something you can do it put a hotwire to the fuel pump and see if it turns on. For example bring a battery with a charge, get some wire and touch one end to the + terminal and the other to the power wire on the fuel pump, if it starts running then your fuel pump is fine. If not, new fuel pump time.

Check fuel pump fuse in the engine bay, switch the EGI and EGI PUMP relays, and if all that fails, take a test light or volt meter to your Fuel Pump Relay wire coming out of the ECU. Search for a ECU pinout for the year of your car (regardless ka/sr) because no matter what motor/ecu you put in, it still will use the same wiring going to all the components in the car.

If you understood that plug the test light into the fuel pump relay hole, with the key off, and once its in there securely with a good ground, turn the key to the on position and see if it lights up. It should only light up for 5 seconds.

Double check ur wiring..if its done in butt connectors double check that sh** real close with a diagram for the wiring.....if thats all correct...pull the cover to the ecu and make sure along the swap a wire hasnt been damaged and crossed another wire..this would led to burning a circuit in the ecu...i know this cause it happened to me and jus so happened the circuit which was burnt was connected somewhere with the fuel pump..soldered a new circuit and fixed the crossing wires and BAM..fixed but the the relay could also be a problem too

okay now i know for sure my problem with the fuel pump has to do with electrical stuff. the pump i just bought is new but still doesn't prime. i checked the fuse box and out of the 3 10A fuse only one has power and the other two doesn't am i missing something that suppose to connect somewhere? can some one show me a wiring diagram to the fuse box i seem to not be able to find it
